Also born and raised in Chicago, Tony spent most of his childhood near the wicker park area. Tony is the older cousin of Erik. As kids they grew up in the same building. They were always together, practically inseparable, so it was only natural for them to share some of the same ideas. After a few years Erik moved to the suburbs but still kept in touch.

In high school tony found himself interested in a lot of extra curricular activities including auto mechanics, wood shop, and electronics but especially found himself interested in art. He drew things that caught his attention getting inspiration from different things he liked. He also dipped into graffiti as well, but only on paper of course. Erik started working at the same job as Tony while in college. While working together Erik pitched the idea of The 2nd City Faction and instantly caught Tony’s attention.
